No, I sincerely doubt it will work. Nintendo is very big on protecting their system. It's probably just a physical barrier, like a plastic peg that rejects the cartridge. You could probably unscrew the device and take it out, although it will be more complicated than that, due to "nintendo screws" which requires a special $20 screwdriver.

Well I believe you can use any gameboy cartridge on any gameboy machine so I think the same is true for the Advance, I just wanted to find out for sure for a friend.

Luciano, the method I described above is for US N64 units to allow them to play any cartridge. There's a white plastic mold, you can see it if you open the cartridge doors... it's actually part of the cartridge doors.

UK GBA carts work fine on a US machine. We have Jap and US GBA's at work and they both play UK carts.<br><br>- John.

Moose, my unit just has the doors but no "white plastic mold", only the grey plastic of the doors and the "floor" that holds the connector with the contacts for the cartridges.
